Oh, the effort.

The ISDN modem in this house has a "handy" feature that, when automatic calling is turned off (in order to keep the modem from connecting as a result of stray LAN traffic), we have to access the modem, tell it to make the call, and then tell it to hang up when we're done.

This makes it more difficult for me to log on every hour or two, obsessively check the four or five places where there might be something new and/or interesting, and log off again.

There's not really all that much new OR interesting, let alone both.

Neither of these problems are keeping me from logging on every hour or two and checking, anyway.
